INDIA E POST CHANDIGARH JULY 09, 2022

Haryana Government is constantly making efforts to provide maximum employment opportunities to the people of the state. For new recruitment, people can apply online through Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited which was earlier applied through outsourcing. 

While interacting with the media persons in Jind on Saturday, Haryana Deputy Chief Minister, Sh. Dushyant Chautala said that all the recruitments in the state are being made online by the state government. In addition to this, the practice of contract recruitment through outsourcing has ended.

He said that this would not only prevent exploitation of employees working on contract basis but would also ensure opportunities for the deserving candidates to avail adequate employment in a transparent manner. He said that Kaushal Rozgar Yojana is a wonderful scheme which has ended recruitment on DC rate through outsourcing. He said that some minor problems were faced in the beginning but job vacancies have been streamlined in the last eight months.

He said that with this development, job opportunities have been given to poor families on priority basis. Under the Kaushal Rozgar Yojana, the state government has worked to reappoint the already engaged employees instead of sacking them. The state government has implemented this scheme for jobs in every sector of all Departments. Apart from this, exemption has also been given to BPL families. So far, efforts have also been made for the recruitment of technical posts having salary of up to Rs 30,000, which will be filled in the coming time.

Responding to another question regarding  threats to public representatives, the Deputy Chief Minister said that it is being monitored continuously because some criminals sitting abroad also commit such incidents. For this our police and the cyber Department is constantly engaged.

Responding to a question regarding the death of a farmer in Barwala, Hisar, Sh. Dushyant Chautala said that besides the senior IPS officer, a committee of DC and SP of the district has been constituted which will investigate the matter.

While accepting the request made by Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal,  Central Government has announced a big gift for the State.  

The Union Home Minister, Sh. Amit Shah while presiding over the 30th meeting of the Northern Zonal Council meeting announced that land would be given in Chandigarh for the additional Vidhan Sabha building of Haryana.  

After the announcement,  Sh. Manohar Lal on behalf of all the people of Haryana has expressed gratitude to the Home Minister.  

The Chief Minister said that land has been identified for new additional building for Haryana Vidhan Sabha.  Now after the announcement of the Home Minister, the work on the same will start soon.

A new delimitation is proposed in the year 2026, based on which Lok Sabha and Assembly Elections will be held in the year 2029. It is estimated that as per the population size of Haryana in the new delimitation, the number of Assembly Constituencies will be 126 and the number of Lok Sabha constituencies will be 14. 

The Chief Minister said that presently,  there are 90 MLAs in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha.  There is not enough space available in the existing building to even accommodate these 90 MLAs.  Not only this, but it is also not possible to expand this building, because it is a heritage building, added Sh. Manohar Lal.

 The Chief Minister said that even after a lapse of almost 56 years, Haryana has not got the full right in the existing building.  

He informed that the  24,630 square feet area in the Vidhan Sabha building was given to the Haryana Vidhan Sabha Secretariat.  But the 20 rooms that came under Haryana’s share are still in the possession of the Punjab Legislative Assembly.  In such a situation, there is a lack of adequate space for the meeting of MLAs, Ministers and Committees along with the employees, he added
